Satan is a phony. Disguising himself as an "anti-Trinity" in Revelation ch. 13, the evil one reveals himself in the form of "the beast from the sea". Using the limited time and reach he's given until the Day of Christ's return and his ultimate destruction, the devil unleashes his fury. The only hope for overcoming the beast's attacks is through the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Through faith in Him, God's children patiently endure their trials and rely solely upon the faithfulness of their heavenly Father.
